Very Sad to see Nature suffer ~ Hope we can do something to repair the damage. 
Einstien once said when the earths Bees start to dissapear, mankind will have five years left to live.
I think we will get on pretty well without them in this day and age. It's just, a funny 'concidence'? that last year they started to dissapear. Five years before 2012.
Most people haven't noticed, because they don't bother to take in things like how many Bees less they're seeing now than before. Too preoccupied with their cell phones and hairstyles.
But I have noticed. And the truth is, last time I saw a living flying Bumble Bee was almost a year ago, as opposed to almost everyday the previous year.

Funny this popped up, I was just talking to my grandfather the other day about how they only had two bees showing up in their front yard so far this year and he thinks it may effect the flowers in his yard.

Very Disturbing situation, and I suppose there are many who go about their day and not notice.
I am glad I still have a few around my flowers.... however, don't know about this year coming up.
I'd be curious if this may have something to do with us genetically re-engineering our crops?
